The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed the opener of the National League Championship Series 5-2 on Saturday, but I like the Cubs to take Game 2 and head home to Wrigley with the series tied.

Here we'll see a battle between two southpaws on the mound, with the Cubs handing the ball to Jon Lester (13-8, 4.33 ERA) and the Dodgers going with Rich Hill (12-8, 3.32 ERA).

Lester was terrific in the NLDS, tossing 9 2/3 innings of two-run ball on just three hits. Lester has a ton of postseason experience and owns a 9-7 record behind a 2.57 ERA in 24 playoff outings (20 starts).

Hill meanwhile may be a regular season veteran, but the 37 year old has just five postseason starts under his belt, going 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA. He gave up two runs on three hits and three walks in four innings against Arizona in the NLDS, and I think Cubs will give hem plenty of trouble here.

My selection is an 8* play on Chicago Cubs.
